Autopsy results show that Billy Mays took cocaine within days of his death.

The 50-year-old infomercial pitchman was famous for his beard and his phrase, "Hi. Billy Mays here for Oxiclean."

Although his death was originally considered linked to the impact of luggage on an airplane, it was later discovered that he was on pain medication for a pending surgery.

But the autopsy shows yet another scenerio. He had taken cocaine within days of his death.
